Knautia macedonica ‘Thunder and Lightning’
Plant number: 1.299.170
A terrific long-blooming perennial for any well-drained sunny area. This new variegated selection forms a low mound of light green leaves outlined in creamy-white. Tall and branching, wiry stems bear loads of small, reddish-purple pincushion flowers throughout the early summer and into the fall. Compact like K. ‘Mars Midget’. Great in containers and tubs. Attractive to butterflies. Though sometimes said to be short lived, if the plants have excellent drainage in winter they will live for many years. Self-sown seedlings often appear and can be easily moved to a new location while still small. USPP#21437: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
